Yanks And Red Sox Renew Their Rivalry In Ny On Dish Network

Baseball fans all around the country are looking forward to this weekend's 4 game series in the Bronx between New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. That is because it's one of the biggest rivalries in all of professional sports, and the saga continues starting tonight. The games can all be seen on Dish Network's NESN for those in the Boston area, available in HD, for all the other baseball fans who won't want to miss this exciting series.

The Yankees are currently enjoying a 2 1/2 game lead over the Red Sox in the powerful American League East Division with the Tampa Bay Rays only 3 games behind the Sox. The Yanks just picked up 2 games this week as they took both games from the Blue Jays in Toronto while the Red Sox dropped their 2 games to the Rays in Tampa where they have only won 2 of their last fifteen games, including the playoffs.

This caused the already tight East Division race to become a bit tighter. While Yankee fans and players alike have been enjoying their stay atop the division, they all realize that have been winless thus far this year against their second-place rivals, so they are really hoping to change things around in this four-game homestand against the Sox. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are looking to take advantage of playing their annual nemesis four straight games at Yankee Stadium where they've recently enjoyed some degeree of success.

The Red Sox fully realize that if they aren't able to earn at least a split with the Yanks this weekend, then they'll actually lose more ground to the Bronx Bombers, and then that would possibly open the door to the surging Tampa Bay Rays to actually slide into second place in the divison, dropping the Sox to third place.

However, if the Red Sox succeed in winning at least 3 games in the Big Apple this weekend, then they will close the gap to only 1/2 game, and a sweep of the four games would then find the Red Sox in first place on Sunday night, after the game which fans everywhere can watch on ESPN's Sunday Night Game of the Week on Dish Network. Whatever happens, this storied rivalry certainly creates excitement for baseball fans everywhere, and if Yankee fans and Red Sox fans have anything in common, it's that they are both EVERYWHERE!
